    "This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice in it and be glad. Alleluia!"

    What a joy of incomparable substance to be a follower of Jesus Christ at Easter! The thrill of victory! The gift of new life! The blessing and excitement of Jesus sharing the reality of his new life with the still wondering and incredulous disciples!

    The empty tomb! The faith and devotion of the women on Sunday at daybreak! Mary Magdalene, the proclaimer of resurrection news to the apostles. The Emmaus encounter! The rush to share the news of Jesus' resurrection! Jesus' calm appearance to the apostles in peace and forgiveness but with the critically clear charge: "As the Father has sent me, so I send you."

    May we all cherish our gift of new life! Relish our charge and commitment of joyful and faithful living of our own version of "being sent out" with vigor and joy all through these fifty days of Easter time!
